G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Joel 3:1-21

Finally the prophet moved on to a yet higher level, and dealt wholly with things to come. The great word introducing the section is "afterward." Some of the things foretold have now been fulfilled, some are still in the future. In looking toward the distant Day of Jehovah, Joel saw an intervening period of an entirely different character. This he described, ending his message with a declaration concerning the Day of the Lord, which was the real burden on his spirit. Of the intervening period... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Joel 3:1-6

The Consequence Of YHWH’s Blessing Of His People Must Be The Judgment Of The Nations Who Have Oppressed His People (Joel 3:1-6 ). The judgment of the locusts has carried Joel’s thoughts forward to the final Day of YHWH. No time scale is given, but Joel knew that the consequence of YHWH’s future pouring out His Spirit on His people must be the restoration of all His scattered people, and the judgment of the nations who had oppressed them. The two always go together, the blessing and the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Joel 3:1-8

Joel 3:1-Ruth : . Yahweh will Recompense with Punishment the Nations that have Oppressed His People.— In that Day, when Yahweh will restore the fortunes of His people, He will bring into the “ Valley of Jehoshaphat” all nations, and there confront them, as defendants in a law-court, with the charge that they have parcelled out His land among colonists and dispersed His people into far countries, selling them into slavery for contemptuously small sums which they have expended upon the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Joel 3:5

Ye have taken; you Tyrians, Zidonians, and Philistines have received at the hands of those you confederated with, you have taken them either as part of the spoil, or as part of your pay. My silver and my gold; silver and gold vessels dedicated to my service in the temple, and about the altar. And have carried into your temples; and in contempt of me, with proud insulting, have presented them in your temples to your idols, as if they were mightier and more glorious than I: so did the Philistines... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joel 3:1-21

Joel 3:1 . Behold, in those days, in the days of the Messiah, as stated from the twenty eighth verse of the preseding chapter. Of course all references in our elder critics, to Cambyses, and to Judas Maccabeus, are superseded at a single view. Cambyses, son of Cyrus, conquered Egypt by a ruse du guerre. He sent his soldiers against their fortified cities with what was deemed a sacred beast under their hand, against which the Egyptians durst not fight. He sent spies also with presents to... read more
